I’m going to type slowly and carefully. Why? Because it feels rude to disrespect a Dinrr Diner receipt with my silly slothful tail typing.
In any case, I was hoping that would’ve taken a little longer. I really didn’t want to have Loveland around for what happens next. Not that I know what exactly will happen next—this is all mostly new to me, but I assume whatever it will be won’t be gopd. I really did have a few more riddles planned if I needed to stretch things out further, and I’m sad no one gets to see them. Not that they were any good, mind you. I really ran out of steam after that first one. But the next one would’ve had the answer “Snake,” and then the one after that would’ve been “Queen.” Then I would’ve stirrrd up some drama between our Red Queen and the other Red Queen, off with their heads, you know how the stoty goes.
Though, when I heard about Julius’ arm, I figured we couldn’t keep messing around in Wonferland. See, Loveland is a very fiercely independent… well, cryptid. He’s as much of a demon as he is a human boy. His talent for speech is rather impressive, and it does a decent job of fooling people into assuming he is a demon of some sort. Regsrdless of what he is, we could never tell him he needed to leave the Cafe for his own safety. So, I figured I would lure him somewhere safe for the time being. Again. It’s funny that I’ve had to do this sort of thing twice now. Anyway, I bought the deed, desttoyed the hall, returned the deed, wrote the riddles, and restored the hall again. And? In the end, Loveland gets to believe that he is a very clever and brave hero, which he is, and that is enough. Plus, he was willing to go back with Jenny to the Long Island location so he could regale them of his valor.
But… what a mess Jericho has gotten himself and Julius, and Joy into now. It is getting exjausting trying to keep all three of them safe. I figure after this Sphere, I should get some sort of break. Or maybe an award? If they could’ve just— ugh. I can’t keep everyone safe and happy all the time, can I? One crisis at a time. Normally I wouldn’t worry about failing. Even if I fail, things usually get reqound and reset like that Chess Match in Wonderland… but now we have a Queen far less benevolent than Jenny running to the other side of the board, and that could really screw things up.
